Sure, at first blush it looks like Northfield just took itself out of the running for most bicycle-friendly city in Minnesota. Nothing could be further from the truth, however. There's lots of bike parking in the city, and even two repair stations. But it caused a bit of a stir anyway.
Still, this dismantling of the bike locked to a traffic signpost today presents a mystery to us.
Whose bike is it? It's been there since last fall, according to Griff Wigley on Facebook.
Wigley says he contacted City Hall and found officials put a sign on it a week ago requesting it be moved within 48 hours. It wasn't, obviously.
But where's the owner? He/she obviously didn't intend to just abandon the bike, otherwise he/she wouldn't have locked it to an object.
